Private Equity Finance

The Department of Finance has developed a multi-disciplinary curriculum in the area of private equity finance. This curriculum covers a broad spectrum of private equity investments, including early- and later-stage venture investing, investing in established private firms, buyouts, financial restructuring of distressed firms and private equity financing by public firms. The concentration prepares students for careers with investors in private equity funds, private equity fund managers, issuers of private equity securities, and other important participants in the private equity market such as commercial banks, investment banks and other investment advisors. The concentration is supported by the Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Center for Private Equity Finance. For more information about the private equity finance concentration and the Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Center for Private Equity Finance go to the Center’s website.

Students should complete FIN 394.1 and FIN 397.1 in the spring semester of their first year in the MBA program. Along with FIN 286, most remaining Finance electives have these three course as prerequisites.
